[Qgis-psc] Next 4.x LTR

[Julien Cabieces]

Hi all,

And thank you Denis for raising this topic. I was also debatting this
matter yesterday with some colleagues.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to backport it to 4.2 before 4.2.4.

I also hear this kind of opinion here and there, from users and
developers. Do we have factual elements that tend to demonstrate that the
4.2 is not stable enough ? Are there any other strong blocking points ?

I'm not against a rescheduling but like David pointed out, It's not
without consequences.

Regards,
Julien
